Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Αὐλίδι
Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Αὐλίδι ("Iphigenia in Aulis" or "Iphigenia at Aulis") is a Greek tragedy by Euripides.
The Romanized form of the Greek title reads Īphigéneia en Aulídi, and it is often referred to simply as Iphigenia (in English) or Iphigeneia (in Dutch and Afrikaans, as in the original Greek).
Related to, but not to be confused with, Euripides's other play, (Iphigenia in Tauris)
